Learn to Code for Free

Online programming classes provide a convenient way to learn new skills, especially for those who cannot make their way to a classroom. However, they do not provide access to an instructor and the benefits of in-class experience. Many of the courses available are also expensive and may not provide practice with real-world problems.

At Code Platoon, we have introduced a new way to retain the advantages of both in-person training and online learning. Moreover, anyone who is admitted as part of this pilot project can attend FREE of charge, with a scholarship covering the entire cost of tuition.

How do we do it?

You will participate in the same rigorous classes that are taught live, albeit remotely. This way you can participate in live discussions, ask questions and get responses right away making sure you learn the concepts you need to succeed.

You work on the same assignments and team projects.

Get questions answered by instructors as your work on your projects and interact with your classmates.

Admission to this program will be more rigorous than to our in-person program, as we will be offering fewer spots to the Remote Attendance Program. Moreover, will give preferential admission to veterans with disabilities.

In addition, Remote Attendance students will not be eligible to participate in the internship program, or at least not with Chicago-based internships.
